Panthers Announce Signing of Former UofL OL John Miller

The former UofL offensive lineman has landed in Carolina after being cut by Cincinnati.

The Carolina Panthers have signed former University of Louisville offensive guard John Miller, the team announced on Monday. The announcement comes just five days after he was cut by the Cincinnati Bengals, and was first reported on Mar. 18. He signed a one year, $4 million deal.

In his lone year last season with Cincinnati, Miller started 13 games at right guard but earned just a 58.6 grade according to the folks over at Pro Football Focus. Though the decision to cut him was primarily financially driven, as he signed a three-year, $16.5 million contact with the Bengals prior to the 2019 season.

He is the second former Cardinal to join the Panthers this offseason, and is the third one currently on the roster. It was reported that quarterback Teddy Bridgewater signed with them following his tenure with the New Orleans Saints, and running back Reggie Bonnafon has been with the Panthers since 2018.

Miller made 46 career starts at left guard for Louisville and was named an All-ACC Honorable Mention as a senior. He was drafted with the 81st overall pick in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. He spent the first four years of his career in Buffalo before joining the Bengals as an unrestricted free agent.
